Product details

When a storm rolls through Big White or SilverStar, the best days start with lift laps and end in the side-country chasing untracked lines. The Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants are built for skiers who do both. They're a streamlined take on Peak Performance's iconic Vertical PRO line, made from durable 3-layer HIPE® ACE fabric that's fully seam sealed against deep Okanagan snow and wind. Half-leg vents dump heat on bootpacks and warm afternoons, and a RECCO reflector adds peace of mind when you head beyond the ropes.

WHO IS THIS FOR

The Vertec HIPE® 3L Shell Pants are for women who ski the whole mountain: resort skiers lapping Big White and SilverStar on storm days, freeriders who like to duck into side-country stashes, and anyone who wants one versatile, high-performance shell pant for every condition. The relaxed fit and straight leg leave room to layer underneath and move freely, and the snow-skirt loops let you build a fully connected storm-day kit with a compatible jacket.

FAQ

Q1: How does Peak Performance sizing run? Should I size up or down, and will they fit over a base layer?
The Vertec Shell Pants have a relaxed fit with a mid-rise waist, a straight leg, and adjustable Velcro straps at the waistband, so there's room for a base layer underneath and you can fine-tune the waist. Peak Performance offers a size finder on its site to help you choose a size. We also recommend trying them on in-store over your base layer, and bringing your ski boots if you can, to check the length and how the snow gaiters sit.

Q2: Are these pants warm and waterproof enough for storm days at Big White and SilverStar?
For waterproofing, yes. With a 20,000mm waterproof rating and fully sealed seams, the 3-layer HIPE® ACE fabric is built for deep snow and wet storms, and the snow gaiters help keep powder out of your boots. For warmth, keep in mind they're shell pants, not insulated. On cold lift-served days, a warmer base layer underneath will keep you comfortable.

Q3: How do I care for HIPE® fabric to keep it waterproof and breathable?
Close all zippers before washing, then machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Don't use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low after washing to help maintain the water-repellent treatment, or line dry in the shade. Don't iron or dry clean them.
